Good night J! Sleep well :-)

>i just ordered manganese online (50 mg)

What is the name of the supplement which you ordered?

Too much manganese might be harmful. I've read that 5mg a day is the maximum recommended dose.

Hi J!

50mg seems like a lot! I've read that the maximum dose is 10mg/day. Perhaps you should take 1/4 of a tablet per day?

Hi J,

>why sell it in dangerous dosages?

Because people will buy it! ;-)

I don't know whether 50mg is dangerous, but I wouldn't take that much myself. Try 1/4 of a tablet.

Ignorance is my best guess. You see a lot of multis with too much zinc too.

11 gm/day is the upper limit apparently. I don't always agree with the Linus Pauling Institute, but have no reason to disbelieve them about this one.
